I Spent 300+ Divines On Lacerate So You Don't Have To

[@Majindro]

Crazy how much variety there is in everyone's lacerate builds. You definitely turned this into a melee version of your frost blink elementalist build basically haha.

[@knaz7468]

Really cool to see your final build! I went for more life (6700) and standing unbuffed regen of 1600+ to make Ubers feel nice, but otherwise very similar. Probably the only other difference is I stole flame/flesh from Champ for perma 15 fortify (super cheap compared to frenzy stacker). My Light of Meaning was for the +4% chaos resist to take pressure off gear since my dmg was already dot capped. This is the first league ever I've been able to clear Ubers with one character! Super fun build. Bleed-Glad has always been my favorite archetype.

[@cgt6611]

Damn bro, you can't just come here and drop such a comment without a PoB, let us appreciate it!

[@geeleiia8807]

Dude drops a "already dot capped" and leaves. We need that PoB

[@brianh5844]

Would also love to see the PoB!

[@knaz7468]

Haha, ok first off you can't post links in youtube comments that I know of. Secondly, my PoB is literally no different than subtractem's nor any other standard bleed lacerate glad. I just suck at the game and need more cushion so I opted for more life. I rolled T1 life and T1 life regen on ALL gear and am blood magic (I hate mana issues). My axe is a couple notches above sub's in this video since i didn't care about leap slam tech, so my upper end dmg is better. I still using Venopuncture because I like the immediate chill for AB. My eldritch crafts on gloves, helm, and armor are pure dmg since I didn't need any more tankyness. I use War of Attrition too (best node ever and always applies max for Uber fights). I also opted for all ele flasks instead of armor/evasion since big armor means nothing for Ubers and I wanted the extra +5% max. Only endurance charges/etc matter for phys mitigation for big hits. Uber Shaper/Elder were the easiest. Uber Eater and Searing went down super quick too (though I suck at the ball phase). I got easy mods for Cortex so he had no chance even with turbo. I also found out you can block Uber Sirus meteors? Had no idea but I took 3 of them (again, because I suck mechanically speaking and the character is super slow and I couldn't get out of the maze in time). The only fight that is brutal is Maven because I can't place those degen circles for squat!

[@nikgame33]

Nice build, as to be expected of you!

[@fullreinhard]

Ooh, thanks for the update! Got the most currency i’ve ever had playing following the build you posted last time and i even killed shaper for the first time (accidentally witnessed by maven so two shapers at once), got pretty close to your build’s DPS if it had Jack equipped (mine’s around 4.9m), gonna be thinking about how to upgrade my stuff and hopefully get out of level 93 lol

[@PirateZ1]

6:00 I love your content but Im also so glad we have VERY different definitions of what fun looks like in POE

[@RF-INF]

Go on?

[@PirateZ1]

@@RF-INF needless to say, i’m excited that things will be slower in POE2. i dislike the gameplay of spamming movement skills for clear. its preference, all are valid

[@darkleafs]

I spent 300 divines on craft of exile....was sick. 😅. Your betrayal guide leagues ago was much help sir. Game changer for me.

[@Gildorify]

This man COOKED! Very nice build and awesome explanations my dude!

[@kellenfletcher7177]

Well artic armor is a no brainer now. I was following this build and swapped artic armor for vitality and swapping some passives for mana res eff because I thought I would always be moving and artic armor becomes semi useless especially since reflecting elemental ailments made me feel slower. But If you can get rid of venopuncture for an an uber ring especially because of frost blink and artic armor chill? Big brain build for sure.

[@Saiperia]

you could get nearby enemys are chilled on an cluser jewel ( megalomaniac- Chilling Presence) and this way you dont need arctic armor.

[@subtractem]

You could, though we are also using AA for everything else that it gives so the chill is just a nice side benefit.

[@aliaksandrzmrocny1888]

I'd actually advocate to try and find your perfect double annoint one first as that's what I personally did and on a second round (one different node that's not much different from what's originally wanted) it actually existed.

[@TarisRedwing]

That's a fast grasshopper.

[@swadlol]

POE in 2015, 2 months into a league, you get maybe 3 exalts, reroll 3 times, kill shaper. Now, 2 weeks in, clear everything, make 250 divs.

[@seva3340]

I wonder why people use swift affliction over cruelty (without deadly ailments, obviously), isn't less duration make you do less damage overall since you need to fish a large bleed?

[@Jiggerjaw]

Still hunting for those boots in SSF, but I did find Haemophilia, which let me drop the node on the way to the aggravated node, and that feels good for clear even though the explode percentage is lower. But my damage is starting to fall off into red maps, so hopefully Gwennen puts out soon. I noticed you dropped the tincture but you still aren't using Blood Magic. I'm worried it'll be a difficult transition out of Blood Magic so I haven't picked up Arctic Armor or a tincture. We'll see how it develops, I'm hoping to get all four voidstones for the first time in SSF, last time I tried was Sanctum and I only managed to get two.

[@sephrinx4958]

Thank you for your service o7

[@huegofarley4684]

what did u use to craft the shield? edit: nvm saw u used pristine fossil

[@ArmedAndHammered]

This looks like a blast to play. I have a slam zerk that I kinda gave up on around level 53ish. Is it possible to change my ascendancy and roll this without starting a new char?

[@subtractem]

Yup just run normal lab and unspec your ascension points

[@IQof3.0]

Can you go over how to implement spectral shield throw with this build? I know everything should be close except for the weapon and shield

[@3ajohnwong]

Great video again! is there a reason to use quartz flask without gain 3 charges?

[@subtractem]

Good question! No not really, gain charges is the best prefix I just didn't want to reroll my flask since I liked the suffix on it so much.

[@hoodwinkabuser2145]

Might be a dumb question but I didn't really know how to use craft of exile to craft your fulgent prism large cluster jewel, what method did you end up using to get the 3 notables?

[@subtractem]

The easiest way is honestly just alteration augment regal then exalt slam.

[@ryuujin2905]

sorry if im being dumb but the PoB has 7 gems for the main skill? is it a boss swap thing i missed in the vid

[@ToeJam-s4z]

spent 100d cant craft that axe!

[@Shade00a00]

isn't 15% increased effect of physical explicit modifiers from Heist better than the craft of 25%?

[@GHLAIC]

For Tempest Rising, if you want to make sure that enemies in your Presence count as moving by getting elemental Ailments yourself. How do your affected by Elemental Ailments ?

[@subtractem]

You don't want to have ailments on yourself.

[@GHLAIC]

@@subtractem do you know exactly how it works? There are many different opinions, and everyone thinks they are right. I want to know, if I use a mace to chill an enemy, will it take effect directly, or do I also need to be chilled for the enemy to be considered as moving? I can't find any accurate information on it.

[@wudude3545]

Any thought on lacerate with farruls pounce gloves? Always thought having 9 bleeds on an enemy sounded amazing

[@inkedgemini]

That was my league start and it works fine doing the Crimson Dance + Aggravated bleed stacking using Farrul's tech, but it's a lot of effort (and divs) for a minimal gain. Cheaper to stick to aggravated bleeds and you'll end up with similar damage eventually.

[@TheManaStone]

What is the reason for using both Leap Slam and Leap Slam of Groundbreaking?

[@subtractem]

regular leap slam goes much further. granted i didnt end up using it too much but leap slam into frostblink is great mobility. groundbreaking moves so little you're almost standing still so it's just for clear.

[@TheManaStone]

Ah. Thank you for the clarification, and thank you for the build guide. Over a thousand hour of playing this game and this is the first build that I have really been able to take into endgame.

[@aaronmcleod387]

here am i playing discount league hoping for my ryslathas lol

[@C4nTdo]

Trying to farm 20divs because I almost have no time to play the Game. In the meantime Subtractem is spending 300divs on his league starter 😂

[@jzxnaga4510]

Isn't Leap slam has base aspd itself? not modified by weapon aspd?

[@subtractem]

Leap Slam is an attack, it's based on the attack speed of the weapon.

[@krmunoz2169]

It's a good question. It has an attack speed component plus a fixed +0.55 speed penalty component to it. Using attack speed helps with the refractory period between two sequential leaps.

[@subtractem]

Do also note that leap slam of groundbreaking has no refractory period. It can go all night long.

[@supersamshbrosmelee]

@@subtractem oh baby

[@TK-ny5oi]

Dang.

[@Flame082]

Could you maybe show off a boss or a juiced map? Pretty much any build can do the same thing that was showcased by equipping Svalin and investing in mitigation and life on block. And the last video shows a T16 map run, which again, any build can do.

[@personalbest5445]

Love how both PoBs from description has not the same items nor flask that you have on the video. lmao

[@subtractem]

Huh?

[@kobayashid3186]

Looks okay build. But spending 60 div on LS can have 40m damage with pretty good defense. Then save currency to mirror some frenzy gear.

[@subtractem]

I believe I do say in the video that this isn't an efficient way to use your currency. Just showing what it looks like at high investment if you want to put more money into a league starter.

[@kobayashid3186]

@@subtractem Yep. I heard it. Anyway not bad for trying new stuff. You gotta have fun playing it. 🤣

300d into the build and thats ur axe? Lol

[@subtractem]

15D axe, don't need more damage. I had a "better" axe but I prefer something faster for more fun mapping.

[@xanosche]

This reminds me of when people play rf and say they are playing rf when in fact they are playing fire trap bc rf does basically nothing. Are you playing lacerate? not really

[@jnm92]

This is just stupid. You clear maps with RF and use fire trap on bosses and tanky mobs. You obviously use both.

[@jacksonnadler-block2869]

This is like reverse of your point. He said he is playing lacerate which is the single target (so like fire trap) and leap slam is like rf in that analogy

[@michaelg.8062]

So why are we calling all RF builds actually RF builds even when the majority of dmg is coming from Firetrap?

[@luisveigas8604]

@@michaelg.8062 ur just clueless tbh

[@victorsoto4821]

@@michaelg.8062 Because RF is the driving force in clearing maps, RF builds don't excel at single target.
